• Bruk av høgskolens elektroniske plattform.

Praksis

Det forutsettes at studentene så langt det er mulig prøver ut ny kunnskap i egen eller andres praksis.

The course focuses on the characteristic properties of different types of active ingredients, formulations and routes of administration, as well as theory on and practical execution of sterile pharmaceutical production.

Subjects covered by the course, with credits specified:

• Biopharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Science 10 credits

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

• has knowledge of the structure and function of biological barriers
• has knowledge of the rate of solubility and its significance for the absorption of pharmaceuticals
• is capable of explaining factors that can limit the bioavailability of active ingredients and influence the biopharmaceutical properties of pharmaceuticals
• is capable of explaining the grounds for choices of type of active ingredient, formulation and route of administration made during pharmaceutical development work
• is capable of explaining the function of common ancillary substances in pharmaceutical preparations

Skills

The student

• is capable of discussing principles of formulation for pharmaceuticals based on information from summaries of product characteristics (SPC) and any other relevant pharmaceutical reference works
• is capable of assessing a user perspective on different formulations, as well as shelf life and storage
• is capable of assessing the use of different pharmaceutical formulations based on a patient's condition and needs
• is capable of using pharmaceutical reference works written in English and Norwegian
• masters basic skills in aseptic work technique and sterilisation procedures

General competence

The student

• is capable of documenting and presenting his/her own work orally and in writing
• is capable of taking a critical approach to information collected from different sources

Students who complete the course are expected to have the following learning outcomes, defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

On successful completion of the course, the student:

• knows how mathematical models can be derived from facts and first principles.
• has a repertoire of methods to solve and/or analyse both ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems and certain partial differential equations (PDEs).
• is able to apply analytical and/or numerical solution methods for PDEs to models of heat transfer, wave propagation and diffusion-convection and discuss the relevance of these models to real-world phenomena.
• is able to construct and develop relevant models and discuss the validity of the models.

Skills

On successful completion of the course, the student can:

• can determine steady states of ODE systems and use linear approximation to elucidate the stability properties of these states.
• can solve and/or analyse selected PDE models.
• is able to implement and use some numerical methods for solving relevant PDEs.
• can devise the solution of certain composite quantitative problems.
• can disseminate results and findings in an accessible manner – both orally and in writing.

General competence

• is aware of the usefulness and limitations of mathematical modelling as well as of pitfalls frequently encountered in modelling and simulation.
• is able to discuss properties of a system using the equations of the mathematical model that describes the system.
• can explain and use numerical methods, know their strengths and weaknesses and interpret results of numerical simulations.
